A recipient or an adult member of a recipient’s family who engages in activities as a volunteer with a non-profit organization is not subject to the requirement to exercise recourse to obtain remuneration.
However, if the person received remuneration for performing volunteer activities, this remuneration would be included as employment income. Nevertheless, a distinction must be made between remuneration and compensation for expenses incurred by participating in the activities of a non-profit organization (travel, food, babysitting and similar costs), which are not included in the calculation.
